MoNARcHIcAL BLESSINGS
AS Depicted by the Count Of Paris in
a Manifesto.
Organized French RoyaIlsts PIacard
the Entire Country.
One OF the Greatest Political
Schemes OF the Times.

PARIS, Sept. 15.-0ne Of the most impor-
tant manifestoes that ever appeared In Eu-
rope was served during last night In the
principal towns throughout France. The
Count OF Paris sent his instructions To all
Royalist committees throughout the country.
AT midnight at the capital towns Of each Of
the Sc departments OF France a RoyaIist
agent handed sealed envelope, containing
complete platform Of royalty as UNDER
stood by the Count of Paris, TO the chiefs Of
the Royalist committee. The promptness
and celerity with which this movement was
executed proves a complete organization Of
the party.
The Count In his manifesto approves the
recent action Of the Royalists In the chamber
Of deputies, but says: ''rbe apparent calm
Ill conceals the perils OF the future. An
powerful electoral considerations dominate
Parliament and sterilize all efforts TO adjust
the finances. The instability Of the execu-
tive isolates France In Earope. The aseen-
dent faction 0ppresses the remainder. No
body has confidence In the morrow. The
situation imposes duties upon the Monarch
lists In the country, who, unshackled like
those In Parliament, by limited mandate,
must show France how necessary II Is and
how easy IL viii be 10 restore the monarchy.

ry dangers, and prove that the transition

I'm vain does Congress proclaim the eter-
nifty OF the republic. Today France clearly
manifests her wishes. No obstacle OF pro-
eedure VIII prevent a revival Of monarchy
experience, however, gives small ground 10
hope for peaceful transition. History fur

those violent crises. which seem TO be Of pc
rlOdlcal character In the life Of the nation"
:. The Count proceeds to predict that Repub-
llcan mlsgovernment may provoke such a
crisis, when monarchy will be the lnstTu-
ment with which to restore order and con-
cord. He promises to reduce military bur
dens, 10 restore religious liberty, both as 10
worship and education, to shelter the army
from political influences by appointing a
permanent commander, TO remove the grfev-
ances Of the working classes and TO retain
all liberties secured under the republic. The
manifesto concludes:
May all good citizens, whose hopes have
been deceived, whose interests hsve been,com-
wounded by the present regime, Join the la
DOrerS OF the first hour TO prepare common
salvationl May they second the efforts OF

In Answer to the Count.
1t is reported that the government Is pre-
pairing reply to the manifesto Of the Count
of Paris, explaining the policy It intends to
pursue during the coming session. LIE
Temps says; "The document will have no
disquietng influence on the country, but
will only excite and embarrass the right,
owing TO the rapprochment with the govern
ment 1t indicates between the Counts
views and the Caesarian doctrine of the EN-
pire, that monarchy can only be restored
through violent internal crisis. the triumph
OF anarchy. Republicans, whose political
experience continues 10 increase, will not
afford monarchy that chance"
The Landlords Side.
DUBLIN, Sept 15.-At a conference Of
Irish landlords today resolutions were
adopted unanimously denying that the pres
ent rents are excessive or that general and
reasonable abatements have been refused
during times Of distress. Rents were not
raised between 1910 and 1880, whereas in
England, Scotland and Wales, rents In the
same time increased between "a and 40 per
cent. The landlords have rendered an Inn
portant service TO Irish agriculture, and do
not, as alleged. neglect their duties towards
either their property or the community. The
resolution says
land between the landlords and their tenants,
and desire to restore amlty. The recent evletlons
were forced ON US through political motives. I'VE
demand that the government speedily and finally
settle land legislation In Ireland on lust terms to
all, including compensation to the landlords for
the loss OF executive ownership.
The Thunderer's Opinion.
LONDON, Sept. 15.-The Times thinks the
Count Of Paris has chosen the present mo-
ment to issue his manifesto, because he fears
that his followers are being insensibly drawn
Into acquiescing in the republic.

lice, has resigned his Office, as a protest
against the conduct Of the police at Mitch
ellstown last Friday.
